New Mexico Sheriff, Now GOP Congressional Candidate Played Role in Iglesias’s Firing

The Public Record
May 27, 2008

Darren White, the Bernalillo County, New Mexico Sheriff, is virtually unknown outside the residential community of 600,000.

But White is betting that his close ties to the White House, and his staunch conservative credentials will help him win the coveted Congressional seat currently held by Heather Wilson, the New Mexico Republican Congresswoman who is campaigning for Pete Domenici’s soon-to-be vacated seat in the Senate. Domenici, a Republican, announced last year that he would not seek reelection.

Yesterday, President Bush was expected to host a fundraiser for White in Albuquerque where White’s campaign manager has set a goal of raising $300,000… White was the New Mexico chairman of the Bush-Cheney 2004 campaign.

Yet as White’s Congressional campaign begins to pick up steam questions have resurfaced about the role he played in the late 2006 firing of New Mexico’s former U.S. Attorney, David Iglesias.
